For several years I never cared much about G-Sync; I was always a user who didn't mind screen tearing. But suddenly I found myself noticing more and more screen tearing and enabled G-Sync in the global settings. I didn't use V-Sync because a quick search told me it causes significant lag.

The problem starts when several applications that use 'Hardware Acceleration' cause the screen to flicker or even display visual artifacts. Or when I try to run programs and games as administrator – which is quite frequent – ​​the screen also flashes black for a second when requesting permission.

My question is: Is there a combination of settings that allows me to use G-Sync only in games and any other program, with Windows generally ignoring this function?

I apologize if this is a common topic; I haven't found anything about it in my search.
